Lara Stone on Her Love for Dogs, Carine Roitfeld and Particularly Carine Roitfeld’s Shoes

Edited by

Clad in a clingy Calvin Klein, Lara Stone looked every inch the supermodel as I sat down — flustered and fresh off the subway — to interview her and photographer Alex Prager about their collaboration with Mercedes-Benz. During our little chat in the swanky Mercedes-Benz Star Lounge, I tried to explain the concept of a spirit animal — I muttered something about Native American mythology as the concept isn’t particularly clear to me either — but I feared that it would be lost somewhere in translation.

Ksenia started her label in 2004 after training at Central Saint Martins, and has shown at Mercedes Benz Kiev Fashion Week. See her Spring 2012 collection here.
